Welcome to My TomTom page at AMN GPS 4
 

 
 
I've created this page to share some of the files that I have made for my TomTom ONE v4, this is the
model with the EasyPort™ mount as shown below.
 
My unit is currently running App version: 8.010 and Map version: 815.2024
 
 
 
                                                  
 
The files and data below are ALL FREEWARE.
 
 
 
 
Icon & Sound files for your ONE v4

 
 
I have created some Icons and Sound files for use with the PocketGPSworld(c) Safety Camera POI's.
 
They are designed to work with 'TomTom OV2' - 'UK - Speed Zoned Complete' files
(these files can be found on the pocketgpsworld.com web site - see banner at base of this page).
 
The files once un-zipped are placed into the default main map folder along with the safety camers poi
files (main map folder name - United_Kingdom_and_Republic_of_Ireland).
 
Voice files are also included for all camera types with the first icon set below.
 
Some demo screen-shots of the different types of icons and associated sound files:
 
 
 
            
                    'check speed, gatso ahead'                                  'check speed, specs camera zone'
 
 
            
         'caution, possible mobile camera ahead'               'caution, possible mobile camera ahead'
 
 

     
                   'warning, traffic light camera'
 
     

 



 
A second set of icons again to work with the PocketGPSworld(c) files as above.  This set does not
include any sound files.

 
 
 
            
 
 
     
 
 



 
 
 

Different Main Menu for your ONE v4

 
 
Here I have created a different Main Menu for the ONE v4 using TomTom's SDK.  The SDK was for use
with older TomTom software versions but does work okay with the ONE v4 using software App: 8.010
 
The new Main Menu provides the options to Manage POI's and also Browse Text files and Images.
 
Note: You do loose some of the default menu items.  The screen-shots below show the default menu
and how the menu looks after the menu update using the SDK settings.  I have made them to be as
close to the default main menu as possible within the the limitations of the old SDK.

 
 
              
                             Default Main Menu 1                                                     Default Main Menu 2
 
              
                                 New Main Menu 1                                                       New Main Menu 2
 
       
                                 New Main Menu 3
 
 
If you wish to try this new menu then it is adviseable to do a FULL BACKUP first.  Having a full BackUp
in any case for your unit makes good sense.  I use Explorer, not TomTom HOME.
 
How to BackUp, if you need help click on this link  (courtesy of PocketGPSworld.com).

Note: When you use TomTom Home to BackUp your device it over-writes the last BackUp (if you have
one) so you would loose your original if that is how you BackUp.  Hence that's why I use Explorer and
give each BackUp a new name, so not loosing any others.
 
To install the new Main Menu including the Text Browser and the facility to view your own Image files
you need to first download the required files (all the required files are included - including a demo).
 
 

 
Once you have downloaded the file un-zip it to your main pc.  You should now have 2 folders:
 
SdkRegistry
text
 
These folders need copying to the root directory of your ONE v4.
 
So connect your unit to your main pc and using Explorer open the drive letter.
On my system it is (K:) but that may be different on your main pc.
 
Now on the root directory of your ONE v4 Paste the 2 folders on to it as shown below:

 

 
Now OPEN the SdkRegistry folder and you will see a file called:  TomTom.mnu  If at any time you want
to revert back to the ONE's default Main Menu then just either rename or delete this file.
 
Now close the SdkRegistry folder and open the text folder, in the text folder is another folder called:
 
Images

In this folder are the files that display whatever images you would like to view on your ONE v4.
The files in the folder are included to just demo this feature.
 
You can now at this time disconnect your ONE v4 unit from your main pc.  Try the new Main Menu's !
 
See note at the end of this guide on how to disconnect your ONE v4 unit from your main pc.
 
Adding images to your ONE v4;
 
I have found that images can be in several different formats, but resizing your images to 320 x 230
and saving in .gif format works the best.  This is due to the fact that these images only use a small
amount of memory.

Using other image formats slows the ONE v4 quite a lot when it loads the images.

Note also that this displays the images so that the Page-Down and Page-Up buttons work ok.  I don't
know how many images you can have in one listing using the following html format before again it
slows down, but in the following file I have tried 12 which work without any problems.  You can create
several html files with different names that include whatever you like.
 
On your main pc create a html file (just open a new NotePad text file - or use the one I included for
the demo
) with the following data in it:

 


Save that file as:  Images_01.html (you can call the file whatever you like - eg: my_car.html etc)
 
DO make a BACKUP of your IMAGES to a separate folder on your pc of the images you intend to view on your ONE v4 (just so you do not loose them or harm your originals).
 
Now you need to copy and paste your 12 .gif images into the same folder (resized to 320x230), and
also the Images_01.html file if you have created a new one.
 
In my case:  TomTom (K:) text/Images
 
The image files have to be saved with the names:
 
001.gif
002.gif etc
 
NOTE: you can use the original file name(s) - but would need to change the html file names to the
same for it to work.
 
eg: if your original image was called SANY0001.jpg then after re-sizing you call it SANY0001.gif the
html file would need changing from 001.gif to SANY0001.gif  etc.
 
You can now disconnect your ONE v4 from your main pc.
 
To view images on your ONE v4 just tap the screen and select the following:

 

                      
     1. Tap Text Browser                                       2. Tap the Images Folder
 
                      
      3. Tap the Images_01 file                            4. Now tap the PgDn / PgUp etc
 

 
Note: Important - Disconnect via Safely Remove Hardware icon: (or you may corrupt your ONE v4)

Hope you found this guide useful.
